(New Blogger) Does New Blogger Have Gremlins?

I recently had a strange experience with new Blogger and I wondered if this had happened to anyone else (or if anyone has any idea why it happened.) I posted this Weekend Herb Blogging Recap on my blog Sunday night, and as I always do, I made the location headers in the post large and green. They appeared that way on my blog on Sunday night and again on Monday when I posted something else.

On Monday at school I looked at my blog, and lo and behold, all the headers (except one) had changed to normal size and black. I thought it might be an IE viewing thing (I use Firefox at home) but when I got home it was also that way in Firefox. How could this happen?

BTW, I just threw up my hands and changed the one large green one (Vienna) to normal size black too, but I am completely puzzled.

Mimi, it has happened to me twice now. The second time, some of my content was reduced in size. I fixed it easily by going into the html and deleting the "font size 0%" but how did that get changed in the first place? I am completely baffled.

Sorry to hear you're having trouble too. I still say that overall, Blogger is much better.

I've found that some of these quirks happen when going into compose mode in Blogger. In this mode some html code that is considered OK in normal html mode is changed automatically. So a final check in compose mode followed by a publication without checking again can cause problems. I've had font sizes reduced and some tags deleted. But I think the problem was there in old Blogger.
